Ever felt overwhelmed trying to understand Solanaās staking ecosystem?
Introducing Solana StakeViz, a dashboard designed to make staking data and validator performance easy to explore, even for newcomers!

Solanaās staking ecosystem is powerful but complex.
I wanted to build a dashboard thatās not just data rich, but also intuitive and visually engaging, helping both new and experienced users make sense of the networkās health in seconds.

@validator_com ā Malicious Validators ($750)
Goal: detect and analyze malicious validator activity.
š„ 1st:
š„ 2nd:
Over $13 million was lost in a single attack in December, 2024.
A validator named Deeznode played a fast one on the systemā exploited its position,
manipulated transaction ordering, and extracted 65,880 SOL ($13 million) off users.
Once again, cheaters won, users lost.
Users staked their assets in good faith and carried out transactions only to be betrayed by the protectors of the system.
This is just one of the many attacks that bad actors (validators) bring to the Solana network.
Now, users are left with fingers crossed each time they stake or perform transactions on the network.
Is this the cost of trust?
I did a thorough exposition on medium. Do well to give some claps and great comments. ā”ā”

@Supapumpbot ā Supa Sleuth Challenge ($500)
Goal: create educational content or tools to report fake activity.
